The Psychology of Space: Designing for Emotion

Our surroundings shape our emotions in subtle yet powerful ways. This lecture explores how interior design can intentionally support mental wellness, focus, creativity, and relaxation. From spatial layout to tactile materials and acoustics, we’ll examine what it means to create emotionally intelligent environments.

Drawing on environmental psychology and real-world case studies, the session dives into how people respond to enclosed, open, or transitional spaces. We'll explore how design can encourage certain behaviors—such as social interaction, calmness, or productivity—through subtle cues in form, light, and flow.

Ideal for interior designers, architects, and behavioral consultants, this lecture will equip attendees with actionable insights for designing homes, offices, and public spaces that don't just look good, but also feel right.
